An egg is very strong end to end, in fact it is very hard indeed to crush an egg in your hands by squeezing on the actual ends because the two dome shapes act to resist perfectly opposite each other even though they are slightly different to each other.

What is the problem of the science project of how salty does the sea have to be before an egg floats'?
The experiment is about density change of salt solution and the buoyancy force due to density difference of the object (egg) and medium (salted water).
How does egg drop project apply to newtons 3rd law?
the second law of motion states the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. acceleration= force/mass
Would a hardboiled egg float best in regular water salt water or sugar water?
An egg floats better in salt water than sugar water due to one simple reason. Because the salt water has more density. This increased level of density results in more upward push upon the egg.
What is the abstract for egg in bottle experiment?
First, the science behind a hard-boiled egg: Egg whites are made of water and proteins. Proteins are made of long chains of amino acids, but in an egg the chains are clumped tightly together in individual spheres. (These are called "globular proteins.") When the egg is heated, the proteins and water molecules begin to move faster. As they move and collide with each other, the individual protein chains start to "unravel," eventually bonding loosely with other protein chains, forming a network of protein with water trapped inside. The consistency has changed from runny egg white to a soft solid!So how does this squishy-but-solid egg get mysteriously pushed inside the bottle? The answer is all about air pressure. When you first set the egg on the bottle, the air pressure inside the bottle matched the air pressure outside, so nothing happened. When you dropped the burning paper into the bottle, it caused the air inside to heat up and expand rapidly. That expanding air pushed the egg aside and escaped from the bottle; that's why you saw the egg vibrating. When the fire consumed all the oxygen inside the bottle, the flame went out and the remaining air in the bottle cooled down. Cool air takes up less space, exerting less pressure inside the bottle. (The egg acted as a seal to prevent outside air from getting in to fill the extra space.) The result was an unbalanced force-the force of the air pushing on the egg from outside the bottle was greater than the force of the air pushing up on it from inside the bottle. Voila - the egg was pushed into the bottle!How do you get the egg out again? You need to increase the pressure inside the bottle. Turn the bottle upside down and tilt it until the small end of the egg is sitting in the mouth. Now put your mouth close to the bottle and blow, forcing more air into the bottle and raising the pressure inside. When you take your mouth away, the egg should pop out.
Good ideas for an egg drop project?
Your goal here will be to dissipate the kinetic energy of the falling egg in some way rather than breaking the egg. Energy is going to be conserved, one way or another. Any of this energy that can be used to do work on something else is work that will not be available to break the egg. This means that you want to build a structure to surround that will undergo "controlled crushability". You want the structure to collapse without completely coming apart. Assemble your structure so that paper will tear, straws will bend, tape will rip etc. You will also want the structure to distribute any force that is applied to the egg evenly across the surface of the egg. The real issue here is "energy conservation".
Does the position of a chicken egg affect the amount of weight it can withstand?
Yes. Lying on its side it will break with very little pressure. That is why, when you break an egg, you always strike the side. Standing on end, an egg is much stronger.
Why are some parts of egg thrown to the sides of bowl when the egg is being mixed?
It is due to the centrifugal force of whisking the egg in a bowl. Some of the egg is thrown to the side. Changing the direction of whisking and occasionally moving the outer parts into the middle will ensure the whole egg is thoroughly mixed.
How can i build an Egg Drop involving Only Toothpicks and Glue and without breaking the egg?
You can glue toothpicks in layers around the egg then make a container for the egg to go in.Also, you can put super glue around the egg.I think if you did this your egg would withstand the fall.
How do you pickle egg?
You have to user the force
Why doesnt an egg break when it is dropped on a pillow?
An egg breaks when dropped on a hard floor because the hard floor exerts a large amount of force on the egg over a very short period of time.In order to reduce that force so that it does not break the egg, you have to somehow decrease the time it takes for the egg to come to an absolute stop.So if you dropped the egg on something like a pillow, the egg would exert the same amount of force as it would on a hard floor, only the pillow would not exert as much force on the egg as the hard floor. Instead, it would be pushed back because the egg is pushing with the most force. This creates the soft, cushioned landing.Therefore, the net force of the egg vs the pillow is decreased and total elapsed time is increased, causing the egg to fall on the pillow undamaged. :)
How can you control the force that cause the egg to break?
how can you control the forces that cause an egg to break
What side of the egg is easier to crack?
Wide side
How does praying mantis egg sacs survive winter?
They have some type of special coating on them that is tough enough for them to withstand extreme winters.
What experiences a greater force an egg that splatters on your face or an egg that you catch with your hands?
The one that splatters feels a greater force (over a shorter period of time).
What is the length of a creme egg?
a creme egg is exactly 18cm from up to top to bottom side to side its 14 cm.
What has a greater gravitational force an egg or truck?
A truck.
What speed does an egg break at?
It is not the speed that breaks the egg. Rather, it is the force exerted on the egg due to acceleration when the egg hits some other object. An egg will break at a very low acceleration.
